WHAT’S HAPPENING ON THE NARAMATA BENCH THIS WEEKEND?

The sunset view of the east side of Okanagan Lake towards Naramata from Munson Mountain, Penticton, BC.

A little wine, a little art, some live music and cozy fireside dining. November is shaping up to be a pretty fun month around here!

Here’s what’s happening on and around the Naramata Bench over the next few days.

The Chalet at Hillside Winery & Bistro – Opens Thursday, November 12

There’s a new cozy hangout on the Bench! Hillside has transformed its Bistro into The Chalet, an après-ski-inspired winter pop-up with warm fires, comforting food and, of course, beautiful local wine. Think Swedish meatballs, mac & cheese, winter soups and leisurely afternoons with friends. Open Thursday and Friday 4-8 PM, Saturday and Sunday 12-8 PM, through December 20.

AND JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND!

We’ve got Unfiltered at Tempest Theatre (November 20–22), Naramata Bench Winterfest (November 20 & 21) and a whole lot more happening throughout the month.

AND DON’T FORGET THE VILLAGE!

Before or after your wine touring & exploring, make your way down to Naramata Village for breakfast, lunch, takeout, a little shopping or to stock up on provisions. Local favourites like Real Things Pizza, The Naramata Pub, Just Baked 9 Mile, The Naramata Store and Shades of Linen are all good reasons to spend a little more time exploring the Village.

There’s no need to hibernate just yet! Our local businesses are keeping things interesting well into the quieter season, and there’s plenty of good reason to get out, explore and support them.
